Paper House

Key: AbHard

Bbm

C#/F

We lAbanded our heavy heFmarts

mAbotors with bFmroken parts

Bbmwe had a deck of caCrds

it was a sAbtart Fm

We'd sit out in the sun

and wait for our skin to turn

you would ask for truth

and I'd look for something to burn

F Oh, we walked in a hC#/Fallowed place back tFmhen

on the edge of Dublin, Fthe edge of May and June

Oh, to live in a pC#/Faper house agFmain

where we Fgrew by the lC#/Fight of the mAboon, oh Fm

Often we took the train

the sky pacing white to gray

when you or I would leave

and the other would stay

And we were all that we had

and breathed in each others words

I would ask for truth

and you'd look for something to burn

Oh, we walked in a hallowed place back then

on the edge of Dublin, the edge of May and June

Oh, to live in a paper house again

where we grew by the light of the moon

You were much younger then

younger than I am now

I still keep as much an eye as the wires allow

Oh, we walked in a hallowed place back then

on the edge of Dublin, the edge of May and June

Oh, to live in a paper house again

where we grew by the light of the moon

Oh, you know what you are to me

and you know you will always be
